“I’m looking forward to joining my talented new teammates and my goal is to help New York City FC to succeed as quickly as possible.”

Calle is a former Colombian youth international and will add even more creativity in the final third of what is an exciting looking New York City squad ahead of their inaugural MLS season.

“We are very pleased to bring Javier on board,” Jason Kreis said. “He is a left-footed, versatile and creative player who I believe will adapt well to MLS and give us some different options in midfield.

“He has impressed both at club and international level and we are confident that he will continue to develop with us in New York.”
